PA MediaAll children and young people should be taught about the British Empire and the enduring history of racism, the Leicester East MP has suggested.
Labour's Claudia Webbe urged the government to take action after she spoke of being "shocked and alarmed" that pupils in her constituency had endured "physical and violent" instances of racism as they walked home from school.
Raising the issue in the Commons, Ms Webbe called for Education Secretary Gavin Williamson to introduce a curriculum which teaches children about racism to reassure those that have been victims of abuse.
Mr Williamson said that tolerance and respect is "incredibly important" towards education and that a range of resources are available for schools.
He told MPs: "I think we would all expect and we all see respect and tolerance to be very much at the heart of what happens in every one of our schools in every part of the country.
"And that tolerance and respect for all, whatever your background, is so incredibly important towards education."
He added subjects within the national curriculum already have the ability to express what happened in the British Empire and throughout history.

BBC News OnlineNottingham City Council has said it is confident that more children can return to school safely after a fall in the coronavirus infection rate.
The authority said it will support the city's primary schools to reopen for more year 6 pupils from Monday following discussions with unions, head teachers and public health officials.
The new position follows three changes since the council decided in May that it was not right for pupils to return.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe authority said it waited because scientific evidence had pointed to the potential fall in the infection rate by waiting a further two weeks from the proposed original date of 1 June.
Nottingham has also seen a sustained fall in the number of cases of Covid-19, according to the council.
Another "key change" was that the capacity for testing children and adults in Nottingham has increased since 1 June.
Councillor Neghat Khan said: "Two weeks ago we felt the conditions were not right for more children to be in school.
"We are now more confident that children can be brought back to school in greater numbers in a safe way."
She added that schools will remain open for the children of key workers and vulnerable pupils.
